Pandemic Flu Report
Emergency Operations Specialist Gail Miller presented the Pandemic Flu Report. Each Frederick
County department was requested to prepare a draft continuity of operations plan pending the
outbreak of a flu pandemic. Approximately 25-40% of the workforce could fall ill to the virus.
Additional employees could be absent due to ill family members and the scare of coming in contact
with an infected individual. Planning and preparation will define a chain of command and duties
to be performed within each department if such a pandemic occurred.
Influenza is a respiratory illness that can be transmitted person to person. Avian (bird) flu is caused
by influenza viruses, which occur naturally among wild birds. This virus (HSNI) variant is deadly
to domestic fowl and can be transmitted from birds to humans. At this time, there is no immunity
and no vaccine available. Pandemic flu is a powerful human flu, which can cause a global outbreak
of serious illness. Because there is little immunity the disease can spread easily from person to
person. This virus could be spread through various means including travel, shipments, and
contamination.
Minute Book Number 32
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of 01124/07
247
There are 3 types of influenza virus. Types A & B are contributors ofthe seasonal influenza. Type
C is a major contributor to the common cold. If influenza A undergoes a major genetic change
called antigenic shift this will result in a novel influenza A, with protein combinations for which
there is little or no immunity in most individuals. If this strain of influenza easily spreads from
person to person and causes illness, then a pandemic is likely to occur.
In 1918 the Spanish flu was the most deadly with 20-40 million deaths worldwide, approximately
675,000 deaths alone in the United States. At this time the projected expectance of the virus is
predicted for 2008.
This infonnation has previously been mailed to the Board members.
Update on Homeland Security Grants Expenditures
The following is the status of the three Homeland Security grants:
· 2004 funds have been committed, and partially distributed, for the microwave radio
system and the addition ofa tower site. Funds must be disbursed by February 28, 2007.
· 2005 funds have been committed for equipment, services, and completion of the
microwave system as well as communications equipment. Completion is expected by
May I, 2007. Funds must be dispersed by April 30, 2007.
· 2006 funds have been used for equipment and have been expended.
Public Safety Buildinl: Update
Expected occupancy for the new building is Aprill, 2007. Commtmications is projected to begin
moving on May 14. All communications' functions will continue throughout the move.
Emer2ency Preparedness Drill
The After Action Report summarizes the County's preparedness for a countywide emergency. The
October 2005 drill was evaluated and problem areas were noted, along with recommendations for
possible solutions.
Pleasc see attached Executive Summary. Entire report was mailed in advance.
Barbara Van Ostcn inquired, during the budget process, whether the new budgct request would
negate any of the problems detailcd in the report. It was noted that the After Action Report was
received after the budget preparation process had concluded; however, Staff believes many of the
issues cited in the report will be resolved upon moving into the new Public Safety Building.
The State, as well as Winchester Medical Center, will be conducting emergency pandemic exercises
throughout this year.
Dr. Potter requested that the Committee send a letter of support to Congressman Wolf for funding
to help with the purchase of a HUB for a field hospital. Winchester Medical Center currently has
3 (three) "limbs" that attach to the HUB. Mr. Riley agreed to provide the letter of support based on
Dr. Potter's draft letter being provided for guidance.

OF THE INTERSECTION OF INTERSTATE 81 AND MARTINSBURG PIKE
(ROUTE 11) IN THE STONEWALL MAGISTERIAL DISTRICT. (POSTPONED
FROM JANUARY 10, 2007 BOARD MEETING.) - APPROVED
Senior Planner Susan Eddy appeared before the Board regarding this item. She advised the
property is currently zoned B2 (Business General) District, B3 (Industrial Transition) District, and
Ml (Light Industrial) District. The proposal is a request to rezone 22.45 acres from B3 to B2 and
8.55 acres from MI to B2. The applicant has a by-right for a shopping center under the current
zoning and a denial of this request would not affect the by-right use. The property is located in the
Sewer and Water Service Area and the Northeast Land Use Plan. She went on to say that Route 37
comes through the property and there is proposed an interchange at Interstate 81 and Route 37. The
applicant has agreed to dedicate the right-of-way for Route 37 and property for the proposed
interchange. Scnior Planner Eddy stated the road network is not the same as previously shown. The
traffic impact analysis was prepared using two scenarios and showed the average trips per day to be
28,000. She advised there would be failing levels of service on the road networks whether or not
this rezoning is approved. She stated there were no outstanding legal issues with the proffers. It was
noted that not all of the property owners are responsible for all aspects of the site. Senior Planner
Eddy advised the Board that the 2004 proffer statement would be void should this rezoning be
approved. The new proffer statement includes:
Traffic signalization to be installed at the intersection of Route 11 and the site entrance;
Route 11 and the southbound ramps of Interstate 81; and Route II, northbound ramps
of Interstate 81, and Redbud Road.
One main entrance into the site.
Along with the one main entrance, there will be two right in/right out entrances.
A right-of-way reservation for Route 11, Interstate 81, and future Route 37 along with
land for the Route 37 /Interstate 81 interchange.
Senior Planner Eddy stated the Planning Commission held its public on December 6, 2006. The
Commission expressed concern that no land had been dedicated for Route 37 and a major collector
road, which was part of the County's Eastern Road Plan, had been removed. The Planning
Commission recommended denial of the application.
Ben Butler, attorney for the applicant, appeared before the Board regarding this application.
He reviewed the ownership of the land, which involved three separate property owners. He stated
Minute Book Number 32
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of 01/24/07
255
that he believcd the Planning Commission denied this application because of no dedication ofland
for the Route 37 /Tnterstate 81 interchange. With regard to the major collector road, Mr. Butler stated
that the property owner felt the collector road would be of no use because it ends in the flood plain..
The proposed signalization agrecment has been signed and bonded and it was the applicant's hope
to build the roads by the end of 2007.
Evan Wyatt, Greenway Engineering, appeared before the Board on behalf ofthe applicant.
Mr. Wyatt stated that the owner of the property felt the anchor stores for this development would
be better suited for large land bays. With regard to Route 37, Mr. Wyatt advised that the property
owner has provided the right-of-way dedication for Route 37. Route 11 will be widened to dual
travel lanes and the major collector road will tern1inate at the Virginia Apple property. The road to
FEMA's property will be built to the property line by the end ofthe year. Mr. Wyatt then reviewed
a list ofthe transportation proffers and time linc for construction/implementation. He went on to
say the Route 11 plats have been executed. The Interstate 81 land has been reserved and once the
exact location is determined that property will be dedicated. The $250,000 monetary contribution
for improvements along Route 11 will be provided 18 months after the site plan is submitted. He
then reviewed the revisions to the project:
The complete dedication of right-of-way for Route 37.
The internal road to the FEMA property.
Fully fund traffic signalization at Interstate 8 I north at Route 11 and Route 661.
$250,000 for Route 11 improvements.
Signalization analysis on Route 11 corridor.
Chairman Shickle asked Mr. Wyatt to review the changes to the proffer statement that was
in the agenda packet versus the copy distributed this evening.
Mr. Wyatt referred the Board to page 3, (B) where the applicant proffered out truck stops.
On page 5, A-B, language was added regarding the execution of the deed of dedication as well as
the County to provide a written request for the property.
Chairman Shickle asked why the same language regarding the deed of dedication was not
included in C & D.
Mr. Wyatt stated that he did not have a problem making the language consistent.
Minute Book Number 32
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of 01124/07
256
Senior Planner Eddy stated that the language change would make the proffers consistent.
Mr. Wyatt stated that the applicant offers to make that change now.
Senior Planner Eddy stated that other changes were made to the proffer document, including:
Property ownership was corrected on the first page.
The correct acreage was put with each parcel.
The January 2007 date was put in a number of places in the document.
Language was added that the County must notify in writing if they want the land.
Chairman Shickle convened the public hearing.
Mike Carol, Carol Industrial Park, spoke in favor of the rezoning because ofthe inter-parcel
connector. He went on to say that his group has done their part to facilitate Route 37.
Gary Oates, Stonewall District, applauded the developer for offering the right-of-way for
Route 37. He was concerned because there was no median put in on Route 11; however, a barrier
would be okay. He was also concerned about the lack of detention as part of the storm water
management. He concluded by saying that ifthesc items were addressed then he would be in favor
of this application.
There being no further public comments, Chairman Shickle closed the public hearing.
Mr. Wyatt stated that the owner is looking at a "pork chop" design with large concrete raised
mcdian. With regard to storm water management, Mr. Wyatt stated the applicant was still looking
at doing an adequate channel, which was sufficient to handle 2, 10, and 100-year storms.
Supervisor DeHaven stated that he had grave concerns about the transportation impacts, but
commended the property owners for the dedication of right-of-way for Route 37.
Upon a motion by Supervisor DeHaven, seconded by Supervisor Dove, the Board approved
Rezoning #17-06 and accepted the applicant's offer to revise items C & D to contain language
similar to A & B.
Supervisor Lemieux stated his appreciation for the applicant's work on this project, but could
not support it at this time.

DISCUSSION OF ROUND HILL CPP A #05-06 - SENT FORWARD FOR PUBLIC
HEARING WITH A WORK SESSION TO BE SCHEDULED BETWEEN NOW AND
THEN
Senior Planner Susan Eddy appeared before the Board regarding this item. She advised this
was a proposed amendment to the Comprehensive Plan, which was originally submitted in 2006 and
recommended for in depth study by the Board of Supervisors. The proposal was to expand the
Sewer and Water Service Area by approximately 481 acres. The Comprehensive Plans and
Programs Subcommittee recommended approval of this addition. She advised, that in the summer
of 2006, an expansion of the Urban Development Area and Sewer and Water Service Area was
sought for the National Lutheran Home. The applicant was sceking approval for a medical related
campus. She stated that the link to the medical center was unique to this proposal. Senior Planner
Eddy went on to say that should the Board decide to expand the Sewer and Water Service Area the
policies already adopted in the Round Hill Land Use Plan should be continued, to include
maintaining the integrity of the established rural community center. She briefly reviewed parts of
the revised land use plan:
Continuation of the policies in the adopted Round Hill Plan for the residential core and
the general commercial area along Route 50;
Medical-related commercial developmcnt on the north side of Route 50;
Future transportation links to the north;
A park and land, if needed, for future public facilities;
Minute Book Number 32
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of 01124107
259
Continuation of design standards for Round Hill; and
Inclusion in the Sewer and Water Service Area of some parcels contiguous to the
applicant's property.
Senior Planner Eddy informed the Board that this area is not currently served by the Frederick
County Sanitation Authority, but if service were to be provided the waste would be treated at the
Parkins Mill plant. The Comprehensive Plans and Programs Subcommittee added a minor collector
road to connect Round Hill Road (Route 803) to Ward Avenue. She advised that the Planning
Commission considered this item at its January 3, 2007 meeting and was generally supportive ofthe
proposal. The suggestions provided by the Planning Commission were incorporated into this
evening's version. Five citizens spoke at the Planning Commission meeting with one being in favor
of the plan. She went on to say that staff had spoken with VDOT and was advised this proposal
would require considerable road infrastructure to maintain a service level C. She concluded by
saying that ifit was the Board's desire staff could include any comments and schedule this item for
public hearing.
Supervisor DeHaven asked if there were any changes to the design principles in Figure 13
A from those previously adopted.
Senior Planner Eddy responded there was one change. She stated the Planning Commission
suggested removal of the words "encourage the" from the phrase "encourage the placement of
buildings close to Route 50 with landscaped parking lots in the rear", which is included in the
current plan. The proposed amended design principle would read "placement of buildings close to
Route SO with landscaped parking lots in the rear."
Supervisor DeHaven referred to the map showing the south side of Route 50 and asked about
the business designation of parcel S2-A-71.
Senior Planner Eddy stated that some of the parcel has been designated as commercial and
some has not.
Supervisor DeHaven stated that he had no objection to property being similarly designated,
but he would like to see it go through the full process.
Supervisor Dove stated that he had problems with changes to the design principles because
they might not always work; however, he did like the "encourage" aspect.
Minute Book Number 32
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of 01/24/07

Chairman Shickle stated that he was troubled by the design standards and had reservations
about this amendment. He stated that he did not know the adopted plan included design standards,
but later found out that it did. He went on to say that "on the surface, it would appear they were
snuck in the back door on us". He concluded by saying that his problems did not lie with the
application, but other issues in the land use plan.
Supervisor Dove stated that he only had problems with that one part.
Chairman Shickle stated that he did not like the boulevard concept.
Supervisor Dove stated that he liked the boulevard concept and felt the county needed to go
in that direction.
Supervisor Van Osten stated that she also liked the boulevard concept.
Senior Planner Eddy stated that staff had worked with the engineering department on the
design standards and they could all be done.
Vice-Chairman Fisher stated that he would prefer to see encourage versus placement in the
design standards. He asked if there would be any exceptions.
Senior Planner Eddy responded that this was a comprehensive plan and not an ordinance;
however, the Board would make the ultimate decision.
Supervisor DeHaven expressed his support for the design principles and felt the plan needed
strong language. He went on to say that the next step after the Comprehensive Plan amendment
would be an ordinance amendment. He concluded by saying that he supported what has been
presented and preferred the use ofthe word placement and give applicants an opportunity for relief
on a case by case basis.
Supervisor Dove suggested sending this amendment forward for public hearing with the
Board to have a work session between now and then in order to iron out differences.
Chairman Shickle stated that his discontent with the proposal has to do with the south side
of Route 50.
Supervisor Van Osten asked if "campus setting" was a generic term.
Senior Planner Eddy stated that the campus setting would only be used on the north side of
Route 50, but the design principles would apply to both sides.
Upon a motion by Supervisor Dove, seconded by Supervisor Lemieux, the Board voted to
Minute Book Number 32
Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting of 01124107
